The day I was sure would never come is finally here! After 41 weeks of waiting, 20 hours of Labor and 1 c-section later we now have a beautiful baby boy! Here are his stats 7lbs 3oz 19 3/4 inches long. Like all things in my life his birth and hospital stay didn't go as planned. Before I get into all the details let me say thank GOD my parents were here to help with Madi. There is no way we could have gotten through this with out them.
We had hoped for a normal delivery but yet again my child had a different plan, with a head that was just to big he refused to come out. So another c-section was called for. They then told me that I was running a fever and there for he would have to be checked out by the NICU. When he was born he too had a fever so after only a few minutes together he was taken to the NICU so receive a full check and antibiotics. We were told at that point that he would have to stay a full 7 days for the medicine. As upset as we were to find out we would have to leave with out him they told me that he was very healthy and we had nothing to worry about, its protocol. On day 3 of my stay the doctors got worried because my blood pressure was very high. They decided that I needed to stay a couple more days until they could get it under control. After two days of playing around with my medicine they finally decided that they had the right combination of meds and I should be fine, only to discover that I now have pneumonia. Nothing to worry about they will just add a new drug to the rest. Finally! I get the all clear to head home and great news its the same day as Everett! My family can finally be all together and at home! Through this entire mess Jesse was my knight in shinning armor, my anchor and the shoulder I needed to cry on (and boy did I need it). I can honestly say that after our experience that I am very blessed to have such a wonderful man that loves me enough to crack a few skulls and hug my hurt away all at the same time.
